How to fix SV8000 Power Supply or C10 and C24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C / P

I purchased one of the first SV-8000 units. It has operated without any problems until yesterday. It started rebooting and then finally shut down completely. Since I do more reading than posting, I went to RatShack and got two 1000 uf 35V caps and replaced both C10 and C24 on the power supply board. One note: to anyone doing this, make sure you observe the polarity of the caps. Plugged it back in and it is now working as a true FTA receiver once again. The caps that I removed were only rated at 10 volts, so these 35v caps should last one heck of a lot longer. My thank you goes to whoever figured out that the C10 was the weak point in the power supply. Thank you sir....
One last thing: the caps that I removed showed no sign of breaking down. No oozing or swelling of the cap so don't let the good looks fool you. They were bad!

thanks to oldstone for the how to

I had same problem fixed it no problem but when I was at Sonicveiw dealer told him he gave me the whole power supply board just had to give old one back to him ..for free .. had already fixed problem but changed out board with new one he supplied just for the hell of it .. it may help others to ask dealers for new board replacement free of charge ..:yes:& he also had fan to install so it would not over heat again ....:)
